YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSupport our work
Florida Democratic Congressmember Maxwell Frost joins us to discuss how he observed horrific conditions in Florida's new immigration detention jail in the Everglades, known as "Alligator Alcatraz," when he joined other lawmakers in a visit. "I saw myself in those cages. It was a lot of people my age that looked like me," says Frost. "The administration is essentially trying to ethnically cleanse the country." We also speak with a reporter at the Miami Herald, which reports hundreds of detainees at the Everglades immigration prison have no criminal records or charges, contradicting claims by the Trump administration. The newspaper recently published a list of people detained or believed to be detained at the facility, helping families locate their loved ones.
